I'm an Army vet, but I never "had" anything that became attached to me

I can only guess what a sailor or airman must think / feel .. when they are re-united with something that actually sat in or slept in

Logic would say scrap her, my heart might want to hold a funeral with a 3 day wake or something

I proudly served aboard the USS Ranger (CV-61) in 1971; in the Tonken Gulf, off the coast of Viet Nam.

RIP old gal, you served your country well!!
